Abstract
Based on the monolingual Croatian corpus, we analysed the combinatory potential of key terms to determine the relevant conceptual characteristics for the categorization of karst phenomena. The corpus results suggested an important role of adjectives in defining geomorphological terms and their classification within a taxonomy. The proposed model of the organization of specialized terms and their modifiers has been pursued to predict the relationship between nominal bases and adjective modifiers, assuming that a set of conceptual relationships is conditioned by the semantic category of the term. The analysis confirms that attributes are an important element of the defining patterns as well as the values expressed by adjectives.
